[Lowfer] 13570

[Mike.WE0H]

I was surprised to hear that station. I thought that was the utility 
portion of the 13mc band rather than SW broadcasters. Their signal was 
in there strong until it got close to sunset then I noticed it was gone. 
Started listening to the AM BC band after that to some good talk radio.
